January 2014

The Western Cape Department of Education
has confirmed that owners and trustees of the SimonEstesMusicSchool have written to
the WCED to close the school down.

The school has cited poor administration
and lack of funding for the closure.

Departmental Spokesperson Paddy Attwell
said the department is now dealing with administrative processes necessary for
this closure.

Attwell added that the main concern of the
WCED is where to place the learners.The
department will do everything it can to place the learners in alternative
schools as soon as possible.
